Spirit of 1676: remembering King Philip's War devastation

Original: Spirit of 1676: remembering the Native American cataclysm of King Philip’s war

King Philip's War of 1675-1676, fought between Native American tribes of New England and English colonists, is being remembered as a cataclysm that devastated Indigenous communities. The conflict, named after the Wampanoag leader Metacomet, known as King Philip, resulted in enormous loss of life, destruction of towns, and a decisive shift of power in colonial New England.

Why now: The 350th anniversary of the war's outbreak has prompted renewed reflection on its lasting impact on Native American history.
